In Bolzano, Italy, a local pub transforms into "Cafe Med" once a month, offering free medical advice from retired specialists to seniors. This initiative addresses the shortage of doctors and provides a relaxed environment for elderly residents to discuss their health concerns. The retired physicians do not diagnose or replace current treatments but help explain medical results and answer questions. The service is completely free and does not require appointments, allowing for in-depth consultations that can last over an hour. This program aims to alleviate pressure on local hospitals and support seniors in understanding their health issues better.
